LOS ANGELES -- Sophomore attackman Josh Stout scored six goals and set up four others, lead No. 8 Utah to an 18-6 win over No. 3 Cal at the Pac-12 Shootout on Sunday.

The win completed a perfect 3-0 road trip for the Utes (3-0).

Midfielder Cam Redmond opened the game off a great feed from midfielder Jonathan Rose. Midfielder Liam Cavanaugh-Fernandez scored next when he found space at the top of the box for a time and room shot where he buried it in the back of the net, giving Utah an early 2-0 lead.

Attackman JoJo Olivas extended the lead for the Utes when he dodged from X and beat his man before Stout pushed the margin to 4-0 after winning a loose ball in the Cal end.

The Utes continued to run and gun with goals by attackman Quinault Mackey and midfielder Steven Ganelin to bring the score to 6-0. Cal would steal a goal late in the quarter to trim the margin to 6-1 after one frame.

Stout continued his assault as he assisted on the next goal when he found Redmond who buried a high-to-high step down. Midfielder Jake Nutter set up Stout off the faceoff to further balloon the lead.

Midfielder Jeremy Sartin found Stout moving in front of the crease to give the Utes a 9-1 lead late in the half. Cal would notch two more goals, making the halftime score 9-3.

The young Utes continued to play like veterans in the second half, scoring six goals and allowing just two.

A six-goal scoring binge in the third quarter would increase the margin to 15-5 with 15 minutes left.

Stout opened the scoring in the fourth off a hidden ball trick. Jake Stout and Sartin chased down a loose ball and appeared to both scoop it up. Sartin came away with it while Stout went to X. Sartin found Josh Stout, who shot on an open goal as the goalie was looking at Jake Stout behind the goal.

Cole Watson added two goals late in the game, giving Utah an 18-6 victory in another great performance by the Utah defense.

"I'm just really, really proud of the guys," said Utah coach Brian Holman. "They were really intent and very focused and very excited. They executed what we asked them to do."

Olivas added three goals and an assist in the win.

"I thought our attack played really well," said Holman. "The ball movement was there. This was one of the better team games since I've been here."
The Utes finished the weekend with three wins while showing progress in each game."

"The key word was progress," continued Holman. "Our goal was to get better as a team and get better as a family. We have a long way to go, but we clearly got better. And we came away with things we can clearly get better at, so, mission accomplished."

The Utes will take to the road once again for its next game against Texas on March 1 in Austin.
